We need to prune.

Now times 29 by 116.
That about 3K accounts that should be pruned.
We should prune those with 5 or less posts.
(Not too hard to get 5 posts)

Nice list, wait and see...

Also, we should prune higher post accounts that have not been logined since about 2008!

Sure, it's easy to get 5 posts, but some people, like me, are very slow posters. I`ve been a member since 2008, but I don`t want to post just for the sake of posting. Anyway, all I am saying is that it might be nice to some leeway for the slow!

Thanks very much

hey xdemi, I'm having trouble following the logic here.
- do you want to prune accounts for the sake of it?
- do you want to prune accounts in order to bring in more users?

I guess what im trying to say is that it would help if you said (why) you wanted to prune accounts.

....catch ya later

prune i say!

What about those that just signed up and only have 5 posts? There should be some sort of time involved too, not just number of posts.

[D_DKnight]

The reason is that so more members can register...
But then, if they only just signed up, we should give them a bit of a chance (Announce it) or maybe only the members before a certain date. (Like February '09)

Yes I agree, my personal opinion is that if someone doesn't log in here in a month he should be notified via email that his account will be disabled in a week or so.

That's all I would do, and about the posts leave it be. There are people that constantly come here but don't have the need to post on everything.

[D_DKnight]

Ok, the above idea sounds better.

Over 1,700 old accounts were just pruned....more on the way....:p

so many inactive accs LOL

personally, I think it's a bad idea. If you start saying that people will get banned unless they reach X numbers of post, people will start spamming. And if it's something I really hate, it's spamming!

Agree with antony about the time limit, could be like 2 months though. But the number of posts shouldn't make any difference in whether you get banned or not.
